MEANWHILE OVER AT THE GASLIGHT THEATRE CROWDS ARE EAGER FOR MORE COWBOY FUN IN "THE BELLE OF TOMBSTONE"

By Chuck Graham, TucsonStage.com

 

Gaslight photo

Another eager audience settles into the pine paneled theater to start their new  year with comic western history and free popcorn.

 

This Gaslight Theatre classic has returned in a new production that flaunts its soaring wiles across a curtained stage of high notes and evil intentions.

 

AT THE ROGUE THEATER IN A DELIGHTFUL PREQUEL TO "PETER PAN" WE LEARN THE IMPORTANCE OF NEVER GROWING OLD

By Chuck Graham, TucsonStage.com

 

photo by Tim Fuller

A trio of lost boys find sanctuary under the care of Molly Aster (Chelsey Jean Smith) in the fanciful "Peter and the Starcatcher."

 

Time to brush up on your “Peter Pan,” so you can properly appreciate the prequel “Peter and the Starcatcher” where Peter, one of the orphaned Lost Boys, first learns to fly, meets a roguish pirate captain and the flitty flash of Tinkerbell while setting the stage for the Rogue Theatre's most charming and delightful production.

Please know that this prequel is not so much a play for children to embrace the unexpected insights of a theatrical experience, as it is a play intended to encourage adults of a certain age to get back in touch with the distant memories of their own childhood.

The “Peter” who is destined to become Peter Pan in his next life is played by Hunter Hnat, a grumpy loner tossed in with two other equally hapless parent-less  London lads.

Cynthia Meier is directing this imagination-stretching fantasy that does not so much tell a story as create an experience eagerly embracing the challenge to encourage long-ago grownups to forget all their adult responsibilities and start fluffing up their own memories of being boys and girls who feel certain their own lives will become full of the most exciting adventures.

As is the Rogue's tradition to stimulate its audience by using mere hints of reality so each person can activate their own mindfulness to fill in the details, Meier creates stuffy British naval officers and their tall masted ships – one named “Neverland” that gets shipwrecked and splits in two. Ensuing incidents provide additional clues to key elements in J.M. Barrie's own beloved classic.

Of course everyone is watching for the sharp-toothed crocodile and that ticking clock. They won't be disappointed.

Playing major supporting roles are Matt Walley as the treacherous pirate leader Black Stache, and Chelsey Jean Smith as the take- charge female, Molly Aster.

A cast of 12 covers 16 roles, filling out essential brush strokes to the story's pecking order and other customs of England's male-dominated nineteenth century society.

Here's one tip, don't be late to take your seat for Act Two. It opens with a chorus line of mermaids flipping the bright colors of their fluorescent tails. You don't want to miss that.

“Peter and the Starcatcher” plays through Feb. 1 in The Rogue Theatre at the Historic Y, 300 E. University Blvd., running two hours 20 minutes including a 10-minute intermission. For details and reservations, visit www.theroguetheatre.org

Shoestring Players Auditions for “Picasso at the Lapin Agile”

Subject: Shoestring Players Auditions

 

 

Upcoming Auditions

 

 

 

 

The Santa Cruz Shoestring Players will hold open auditions for "Picasso at the Lapin Agile" by Steve Martin on January 26 and 27 at 6:30 PM at the Community Performance & Art Center, 1250 W. Continental Road, Green Valley, AZ 85622.

 

Director Mike Manolakes will be casting 7 male and 3 female adult roles.  All roles are open; none are precast.  Auditions will consist of readings from the script; no advance preparation is required.


Performances are April 9 through 12 and April 17 through 19.


The comedy by actor/comedian/musician Steve Martin tells the story of an evening in Paris in the year 1904, when Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein meet in a bar called the Lapin Agile.  Though neither man is famous yet, it is apparent that their genius will transform the twentieth century.  Before the evening ends, they are joined by a time-traveling rock and roll singer from the future, who will also influence the century.

 

No accents will be used on stage (except for the Visitor's southern American accent).

 

Character descriptions (all ages flexible, except for Picasso and Einstein, who should pass for their historical ages in 1904) can be found here:

Our performances of Picasso at the Lapin Agile will also include a Readers Theatre performance of I'm Herbert, by Robert Anderson. I'm Herbert will have a different cast each night, and auditions are open to anyone! Auditions will be held Wednesday, January 28 at 6:30 pm at the Community Performance and Art Center

No memorization necessary, but total familiarity with script when performed is expected, and rehearsals will be held.

PERFORMANCE DATES: April 9-12 and April 17-19

Cast: one older adult male and one older adult woman

"I'm Herbert" is a comedic, yet touching, one-act comedy sketch by Robert Anderson, part of his collection "You Know I Can't Hear You When the Water's Running," featuring two elderly people (Herbert & Muriel) on a porch discussing life, love, and their spouses with hilarious, sometimes poignant, misunderstandings.
